But some people also assume. A woman once got angry at me for being on my phone in a church (not during a Mass or any service, just in a church). I was doing the Liturgy of the Hours. Everything is on the phone.
I work in a convenience store owned by an older Korean guy. [Owner]’s son has recently come out as gay, and [Owner] is being super supportive. His son has a friend who is hosting a drag show at the weekend, so [Owner] has placed some fliers advertising the event on his storefront.
A customer comes in, sees the flyer, and wrinkles her nose.
Customer: “I’m sure it’s because you didn’t know, Mr. [Owner], but that is an ad for a drag show.”
Owner: “Yes, I know.”
Customer: “Oh, so you must not know what a drag show is?”
Owner: “I know. It’s when gay men dress as ladies and make people laugh. Very funny.”
Customer: “You know they’re all groomers and junkies, right? You shouldn’t be advertising that! You’re a good Christian!”
Owner: “Groomer?”
He doesn’t understand the context of the word in English, so I explain it to him in Korean.
Owner: “Oh! I am shocked!”
Customer: “I knew you’d understand!”
Owner: “I am shocked you believe in such lies!”
Customer: “It’s not lies! They’re groomers who abuse kids!”
[Owner] then says something angrily in Korean. The customer looks at me.
Customer: “What did he say?”
Me: “Roughly, he said, ‘Tell you what. You go online and get me a list of all the kids who’ve been abused by drag queens, and I’ll go get a list of all the kids who have been abused by Catholic priests, and we’ll see whose list is longer. You go first.’”
Customer: “He didn’t really say all that!”
Owner: “He did. I’m waiting.”
Customer: “I’ll be praying for your soul, Mr. [Owner].”
Owner: (As the customer is walking out) “Don’t pray for me with the priest! They’re groomers!”

Everybody knows you text on a silenced phone in church. Its the updated version of the old silent rattles for babies.

This is not often my response to a Prickly City strip, but I think this one is really funny.

’Bit off topic, but worthy of a shufti:
From a Canadian:
I work in a convenience store owned by an older Korean guy. [Owner]’s son has recently come out as gay, and [Owner] is being super supportive. His son has a friend who is hosting a drag show at the weekend, so [Owner] has placed some fliers advertising the event on his storefront.
A customer comes in, sees the flyer, and wrinkles her nose.
Customer: “I’m sure it’s because you didn’t know, Mr. [Owner], but that is an ad for a drag show.”
Owner: “Yes, I know.”
Customer: “Oh, so you must not know what a drag show is?”

Owner: “Groomer?”
He doesn’t understand the context of the word in English, so I explain it to him in Korean.
Owner: “Oh! I am shocked!”

The drag show was hilarious, by the way.

I wonder if That Poster will again comment that this cartoon is attacking Christianity.
